Materials Required

Let’s start making beautiful tassels

STEP 1First, decide the length and color of the tassel you want. Cut out a piece of cardboard which must be longer than the actual length of the tassel. You can make use of your finger or fork instead of card sheet. Wrap the thread around the card sheet or whichever tool you use to make it. It’s up to you how many wraps you want. Just remember that if you want tassel to be more bouncy then wrap more thread around the card sheet. While wrapping around the cardboard just don’t wrap too tight or too lose it can bend the cardboard. The tension should be equal.

STEP 2Cut out a small piece of the thread and slip it under the wrapped thread loop on the cardboard and tie a knot. Slip out the loop carefully.

STEP 3Now, slip out the thread loop from the cardboard. Make sure you don’t tangle the thread and cut the full strand of the embroidery thread in middle.

STEP 4Now leave some space from the top and wrap this piece of thread around the loop.

STEP 5To make the length of the tassel even, cut all uneven ends of thread using sharp scissors.

STEP 6

Now, twist open a jump ring and attach it to the thread on the tassel.

The tassel is ready to use. 🙂
